These cool 3D interactive play books rotate 360 degrees; inside, extraordinarily rich, vivid scenes and 3D pop-ups entice children to play. Each book contains four spreads. In My Kindergarten, these are the classroom entrance; study area with desks and a blackboard; reading and tactile play area; and a music and dance corner. My Playground has an entrance with swings; slides and an ice cream truck; a pond with a little bridge; and a climbing castle. Children can place the four removable characters in the different scenes to create their own stories. Social learning through play!
Born in 1980 in Thessaloniki, Greece, Anna Gkoutzouri writes and illustrates children’s books. She is passionate about creating pop-up and activity books that encourage interaction and loves using paper engineering to tell a story and raise complex issues for young readers in engaging, ingeniously simple ways.
Born in Venice in 1971, Dario Cestaro attended art school (Liceo Artistico) and the Academy of Fine Arts (Accademia delle Belle Arti di Venezia), where he has taught Paper Technology since 2016. Since 2000, he has presented different projects at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair; since creating his first 3D book in 2002, he has published roughly 70 pop-up books and toys.
